"Despite the documented evidence of chess historian H.J.R. Murray, I have always thought that chess was invented by a goddess."

The goal is to select a Fantasy Team that will earn the most combined points in the 2013 U.S. Championship and 2013 U.S. Women's Championship. For each point earned by a player on your Fantasy Team, you receive one Fantasy Point. The Fantasy Player with the most Fantasy Points at the end wins!

Each competitor in the 2013 U.S. Championship and U.S. Women's Championship has a price tag, and you have 2,700 Fantasy Bucks to spend.

Choose your Fantasy Team by buying players. When you're out of Fantasy Bucks, submit your team!

Finally, answer the tie-break questions. If more than one Fantasy Player is tied for first, your tie-breaks will be the difference between victory and defeat!

Remember to choose wisely! Once your team has been selected and submitted, it cannot be changed. Good luck, and thanks for playing!

Well, about as clear as MUD to me, but then, I don't go in for this sort of thing (for good reason, LOL!)

I'm not tempted to try it but maybe you will be and, what the heck, what do you have to lose except your self-respect and pride...

About Me

I'm one of the founders of Goddesschess, which went online May 6, 1999. I earned an under-graduate degree in history and economics going to college part-time nights, weekends and summer school while working full-time, and went on to earn a post-graduate degree (J.D.) I love the challenge of research, and spend my spare time reading and writing about my favorite subjects, travelling and working in my gardens. My family and my friends are most important in my life. For the second half of my life, I'm focusing on "doable" things to help local chess initiatives, starting in my own home town. And I'm experiencing a sort of personal "Renaissance" that is leaving me rather breathless...
